Angle G and angle H are complementary. If angle G is 17 more than angle H what does G Measure

Answer 1

Angles G and H are complementary:

G+H=90°

Then: G = 90° - H ...(1)

Angle G is 17° more than angle H:

G = H+ 17° ...(2)

Replacing the value of G in equation (2):

G = H+ 17°

90° - H = H+ 17°

90° - 17° = H + H

73° = 2H

36.5° = H

Replacing the value of H in equation (1):

G = 90° - H

G = 90° - 36.5°

G = 53.5°
